Rewriting How We See Literature

Rewriting How We See Literature
Beauty Brite Disclosure

When was the last time you sat down with a good book? With the discovery of what’s now known as Booktok, people are finally falling in love with reading again, rewriting how we see literature in this day and age.

As a teenager, growing up in the 90’s and early 2000’s I would devour books. Then life happened and so did kids and I just didn’t have the time to sit down and read. Now that my kids are getting older and able to be more self-sufficient, I am actually able to find my way back into books. Bringing so much-needed relaxation into the chaos of four children. I also hope to instill that love of reading into my children. Because reading gives you knowledge, and knowledge gives you power!

The Great Literature of our Time.

When you think of literature, what comes to mind? Things like Greek Mythology, where you have Odysseus of Ithaca, Zeus, Hades, and Persephone. Following into a land where you can get away from everyday life. A small getaway from the crazy world that we currently live in. Sometimes that is where you least expect to find peace in the words written on a page.

That is why when I discovered Immortal Perfumes, I couldn’t help but feel excited about what they have to offer. My favorite scent is by far Hades. With hints of Belladonna ( safe to wear as a fragrance oil, so don’t worry! ), Cypress, and Narcissus, the scent is light and airy. I have gotten so many compliments when I wear it. With hit novel scents like Jane Eyre, and Gatsby there is a scent for everyone.

Oueen of the Night



After not only falling in love with many of the signature scents, I love the company’s values regarding loving humanity. Creating a safe space for those who need it and bringing back the love of literature and the knowledge that reading brings.

In an era where technology is at the forefront, sometimes it’s just nice to put it all away and pick up a good book. To let your mind run to a place of imagination, where the outside world is just quiet for a few minutes. Hopefully you can not only enjoy a good book, but you can find an amazing secent that you love from Immortal Perfumes.

Top Easter Basket Stuffers

Top Easter Basket Stuffers

Hip-hop, Hooray, Easter is on its way! It’s almost that time of year again, and I found some amazing stuffers for your baskets that your family will love. Fluffy bunnies, eggs, and all the candy to make you jump for joy. Finding fun items that will be a hit can sometimes be hard, so let me make it a little easier and make your holiday easier.

Here Comes the Easter Bunny!

Classic Cape

At Easter what is one of the most featured animals? Fluffy bunnies and sheep right, but what about Alpacas? Who doesn’t love the adorable face of an alpaca? Alicia Adams Alpaca harnesses the wool and creates breathtaking pieces that are perfect for the whole family to love. Having a child with chronic asthma and allergies, Alpaca wool is the perfect solution. My oldest has fallen in love with her Classic Cape and its soft feel, bringing warmth and fashion to the forefront. Definitely the perfect basket stuffer for any member of your family, with hats, cute Alpaca stuffed animals, and so much more. Be sure to follow their socials at Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook for more information.

When you think of Easter, what do you think of? If you said candy then you and Delight Naturals have the same idea! With new candy-themed lip balms, you will have a basket full of practical and fun gift ideas. Gummy Bear, Cotton Candy, Key Lime Pie, and so many more fun scents and flavors! My son got the biggest kick out of the Dill Pickel Lip Balm, he laughed so hard when I gave it to him and has been trying to get everyone to smell it constantly! Be sure to also check out my other Delight Natural review here. Lip Care and fun all in one place, and the perfect size to go inside those Easter baskets, adding the perfect pop of color.

What do almost all kids love to get? If you answered slime then your kids are like mine, and love all things slimy. So the MEGA Puking Ball was an instant hit with my two youngest kids. The baseball-sized ball sensory is great for tiny hands. Coming with a resealable slime bag is one of the biggest assets, so that you can use your slime longer and have more fun for longer. Bringing fun for all ages, this ball would be a basket stuffer to remember, bringing smiles and giggles all around.

Mega Puking Ball

At the end of the day it’s not about what’s in the Easter baskets but its the love of your family. But having a surefire hit, when it comes to fun doesn’t hurt either. Which of these items do you think your family would like the best?

Summer Products You Must Have

Summer Products You Must Have

Beauty Brite Disclosure

Summer is here and I am so excited! The sun shining, the light breeze against your skin. So when it comes to Summer skin care you want the very best for your body. I’ve got some of my favorite Summertime products that will brighten your day.

Summer Time is here!

Visor Sunscreen

I love the water so no matter if it’s the beach or the pool or even the lake, as long as I’m by the water my heart is happy. So being in the sun all day I need a good sunscreen to keep my skin safe and protected from the UVB rays. That is where Visor Skincare comes into play. This sunscreen has no smell and no sticky feeling of leftover goo. It goes on smoothly and is safe for all skin types. With no alcohol added I don’t have to worry about it being harsh on my skin. So I can enjoy the sun and water all day without worry of my skin being burned. The protection puts my mind at ease so I can spend the day enjoying my surroundings and not having to wonder if I’m going to be a lobster at the end of the day.

Reveka Soap

When a day in the water is over I love coming home to take a nice relaxing shower to wash off the day’s grime. Let me tell you I have found the most amazing soap by Reveka. This soap smells AMAZING, and you actually feel “clean” when using it. Some other soaps I’ve used in the past leave you with a residue on your skin but not the 4 in 1 total body bar by Reveka. My oldest daughter who struggles with extremely sensitive skin also uses this body soap and I have honestly seen a difference in her skin. It’s so much less red and itchy as she suffers from hot spots and raw areas. This soap is full of Topical Magnesium which helps give your skin its vital vitamins which leaves your skin feeling healthy and hydrated. Sold on Amazon, this soap is a must-have!

Astarella Cream

After a refreshing bath or shower, refreshing your skin is a must. This orange-scented Astrella Primetime Skin Cream by Sun Chlorella is my favorite after-sun and fun addition. This cream helps reduce your skin’s fine lines and wrinkles and locks in hydration. This cream is a must-have in your daily skincare regimen.

Summer has me more active whether it be in the pool, ocean, or just outside spending time with family, which means more chronic pain. 7 years ago I was in a car accident that almost killed me ( click here to learn more about it ) and I broke 3 out of 4 limbs and still struggle with chronic pain. Because I’m more active and on my feet more, as well as working full time I tend to look for pain management that isn’t a narcotic or going to be habit-forming or harsh on my body.

Tree Frog

And that’s where my two favorite pain relief creams come into play. The first is Treefrog Pain Relief. This cream was created in Costa Rica and is all-natural. Its plant-based formula is vegan and doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy. I prefer this cream daily because as a reptile momma, it feels right on brand for me.

I find that on day’s when work is really stressing me out that coming home and using Wholesome Hippy’s Calm Cream really helps sooth my oversensitve nerves. The light scent leaves you feeling refreshed and ready to bounch back to business. Living with chronic pain is exhausting but it’s nice to finally have products to actually help me not feel so bogged down all the time.

Summer comes with so many chances to explore some new fun products. What do you think will be your favorite out of these products?

Must-Have Kids Hygiene Products

Must-Have Kids Hygiene Products
Beauty Brite Disclosure

When you have a small army of children like I do, finding the best kids’ hygiene products is at the top of my list. When everyone has different needs you need a company that’s a one-stop shop. So finding something for all my kiddos can sometimes be a challenge. But I have finally found a few brands that your family is sure to love.

So many kids’ products, where do I start?!

Crazy Hair

Recently I’ve been on the lookout for something to help with detangling, my middle daughter ( almost 10 ) and my youngest (6) who struggle with knots and tangling like I’ve never seen before. So maintaining control over those snags and knots is our main priority. My middle daughter has some of the thickest hair I’ve ever seen in my life and we find that the bottom underneath is where her tangles happen the most. While my youngest just has a lot of hair in general.

Fairy Tales Hair

So when I came across Fairy Tales Hair Care products I was excited to give it a shot. Tangle Tamer Kids detangling Shampoo and Conditioner are my new best friends when it comes to fighting the tangle monsters. With a light citrus smell, this hair set leaves hair shiny and soft. Add in the Detangling spray and tears while getting their hair brushed is a thing of the past.

TBH Kids

Now if you have a bit of an older kiddo, like my oldest who is twelve, who is starting to look into skin care as puberty hits you need to look into TBH Kids. With products like facewash and moisturizer, the Fresh Face Kit is what you need! This way my daughter can combat those pesky hormonal flare-ups with a healthy skincare regimen. Since my oldest daughter really struggles with sensitive skin and is allergic to the world ( I wish I was joking she’s allergic to everything lol ) I was a bit hesitant to add anything to her skin but with these gentle skin products, I don’t have to worry about that.

TBH Facewash

These two companies really help put my mind at ease as a parent, knowing that all my children’s hygiene needs are taken care of by companies who care more about your child’s well-being, with prices that won’t break the bank. As parents, we want what’s best for our kids and these two companies in my opinion are two of the best kids hygiene companies on the market today.

What are some of your favorite kid’s hygiene products to use with your family?

Time For Fresh Beauty

There is always time for pampering, wellness, and mental health in our household. As a busy single mom, I do my best to take time for myself. I also like to be aware of our beauty needs. I bought my son and myself some body wash and gentle scrub. My son has suffered from acne on his back, upper arms, and chest. I found body wash and body scrub to use to help with scarring and combat his acne. I also found a body scrub for myself, as a way to pamper my skin

Beating The Mid-Day Slump
Beauty Brite Disclosure

If you are anything like me, mid-day is the most exhausting time of day. Morning motivation has slipped away, and it feels like the afternoon is just crawling ever so slowly by. So I wanted to share with you some great new products to help bring you back from that wave of exhaustion.

Mid-Day Malfunction!

As a mom of four someday’s, I just forget to make sure that I take care of myself. Or I’m so busy feeding everyone else, half the day goes by and I realize that I’m starving. So I started looking for items that help with the mid-day run down and keep me feeling healthy. That’s when I discovered a company called Just Ingredients. A company that believes that real ingredients are what matters most.

Flavored Water

I’ll be the first to admit that I struggle with drinking as much water as I should. By adding their Flavored Water, I am a little closer to meeting my daily water goal. I’ve tried a couple of different flavors and my favorite is definitely the Strawberry Limeade followed by Tropical Paradise.

When it’s mid-day I don’t always have much time to create a meal, especially if I’m at work. So finding a product that leaves me feeling full and empowered is what I look for and that’s where the Protein Powder pack comes into play. My favorite so far that I’ve tried is the Vanilla Bean Protein Powder. With a creamy taste and no artificial sweeteners, this powder leaves me ready to face the day without feeling hungry. These powders come in so many amazing flavors, from Snickerdoodle to Creamy Peanut Butter Chocolate.

Protein Powder

Just Ingredients even offer some great skin care products from an Organic Face Serum Oil that helps to fight those signs of aging. This Face Serum helps balance your skin no matter if it’s dry or on the oily side like mine. Just Ingredients also have some amazing lip balm choices. My favorite Lip Balm is Fresh Mint. With 100% natural ingredients this lip balm leaves the sensitive skin of your lips feeling soft and protected from the elements with a SPF 14 protection level.

Skin Care

All and all as a busy mom and full-time employee, Just Ingredients is a company that works to help better my days.

Glow Up Your Skin And Hair

I have been on a journey this year. I am working my way back to natural products. During COVID, I found myself using cleaning products that were not eco-friendly.

If you are looking to glow up your skin and hair, I am excited to share what I found!

Self-care is worth it

When you put everyone else first, you tend to forget the most important person of all. Who’s that you ask? Why YOU! Self-care, easy to say but not always to remember. Check out these great CBD-infused products sure to rejuvenate your body and ease your mind.

I’m the mother of four small children ages nine to three, so to say I have my hands full is an understatement. I also work full time as a store manager and work a minimum of 45 hours a week. I feel like I go all day and then come home and go some more. And in years past I always used to put myself and self-care on the backburner. For too long I didn’t take care of myself, and it almost got the best of me. My anxiety and depression were so bad that I didn’t know how I was going to get out of bed. So finally I decided that for once, I take care of ME first.

Self-care for the busy mom.

Sheabrand

When I look for something to help me I usually look for something that can be done even in just a few quiet moments I have right before bed to help me get a better night’s rest. My favorite thing to do is soak in our huge jacuzzi tub, light some candles and apply my Sheabrand Electric Daisy Enzyme Face Mask. This mask as the name says is electric! It leaves you skin feeling smooth and refreshed. Using natures “Electric Daisy” it’s basically its own form of botox. This face mask tightens your skin and renews it’s elasticity. I was shocked by the refreshing feeling it left my face in afterwards. You use this mask once a week, and you can find out more information or to get yours from their website, Facebook, or Instagram.

Electric Daisy

Another of my favorite self-care products is CBD-INFUSED FACE AND NECK MOISTURIZING OIL by Just Beauty CBD. This Face + Neck Night CBD Oil is the perfect nighttime product to end your busy day. The light lavender scent helps soothe you senses and help you rest better. With the main ingredients of grapseed, prickly pear, and rosehip and it’s gluten free!

Face and Neck

So if all else fails and you don’t take anything else away from this, take this momma: YOU are enough, YOU matter! Even when you feel like the world is crashing around you remeber that You are a rockstar. Make sure you take care of yourself, take even just a few seconds because you are worth it. Moms peace of mind starts with those few seconds of self-care. We can’t take care of those tiny little chaos creators if we are constantly in chaos ourselves.

Breathe ~ You have this momma!
